Linkind Smart Solar Lights Outdoor SL5 with Motion Sensor APP Control Color Changing Solar Spot Lights Outdoor Easter

So far these lights work quite well. They were easy to set up and can be controlled from my phone. They add a lot of light outside in an otherwise dark setting. They have survived rain just fine so they are durable and were more affordable than most other options. Read more

I purchased several different lights before ultimately deciding on this one. The combination of brightness along with the ability to control the lights via my smartphone were what made these my final choice. I now have 36 of them throughout my 2.5 acre property and am more than impressed with this product. While you'll pay just a few dollars more for these, the ability for me to change them via a Bluetooth device was worth it. I spent hours of research and read over 100 reviews on various lights before making my selections, and I can tell you firsthand, that the power and ability of these lights goes under-advertised by the seller. The lights easily hold a charge throughout the entire night, deliver outstanding light, and this has even occurred during days where the sky was overcast and the sun wasn't shining at 100% for the solar panels to absorb. Additionally, the Bluetooth range is phenomenal. I have a 250' driveway, and I can easily control lights near the front of my driveway from inside my house. The app can be a little bit hit-or-miss when you first start using it, however, once you become familiar with it and learn how it works, it's really quite easy. Be aware that 'smart' does not mean WiFi, but rather, your phone/device's Bluetooth. When starting the app, you made need to wait a minute for all of your lights to appear as available. Again, once you understand this, the app is easy to use. Also, I found that controlling all lights at once with the app tended to be hit-or-miss, and I found it easier to simply control one light at a time. Overall, as I mentioned in my opening, I am pleased with my purchase. The curb appeal of my house has been dramatically improved and my trees really pop. The combination of quality and ability to have fun with the lights when decorating for the holidays, made this well worth the money. Read more

Purchase context: I wanted a simple smart lighting setup I could manage from the couch—motion-activated, battery-powered, and controllable from the app without babysitting it. I went in expecting plug‑and‑play. That’s not what I got. Unboxing/first impressions: Packaging was tidy and the hardware looked fine out of the box. Physical setup was straightforward: mount, power on, pair in the app. Build feels okay in the hand—nothing premium, but not flimsy either. Setup and connectivity (the deal‑breaker): App pairing took multiple attempts and only “stuck” when I stood right next to the lights. If I walked more than a room away (one interior wall), commands would lag or fail. Controls frequently timed out unless I was within a few feet. Automations didn’t always sync; I had to re‑open the app to “wake” the connection. Firmware update prompts appeared, but updates stalled mid‑way twice and I had to reset and start over. Motion/ambient sensors (inconsistent at best): Motion detection was erratic—sometimes triggering on nothing, other times ignoring a clear walk‑by straight in front of the sensor. Sensitivity settings didn’t help. “High” gave me false triggers, “Low” missed real ones, and “Medium” felt random. Ambient/light sensor logic didn’t respect my “night only” rule; lights came on during overcast afternoons and then refused to trigger at dusk. Battery life: With motion enabled and brightness at a practical level, I was getting roughly 3–4 hours of actual active use per charge across an evening of on/offs—nowhere near “set and forget.” Standby drain was noticeable. Even with minimal triggers, I still had to recharge far more often than expected. Daily use notes (mixed high/medium/low): High: When the lights did respond, the output was fine for the space—clean, even illumination. Physical install was painless. Medium: The app interface is okay when it’s connected—schedules, scenes, basic toggles—but nothing special. Low: Reliability. Needing to stand near the fixtures to get commands to take defeats the purpose of “smart.” I can flip a manual switch faster. Customer support: Slow replies, mostly scripted steps I’d already tried (reset, re‑pair, move router, 2.4 GHz only, disable VPN). When I asked about sensor quirks and standby drain, the answers were generic and didn’t resolve anything. Who it’s for: Honestly, only if you plan to use these as basic lights without relying on remote/app control or sensors—and you don’t mind frequent recharges. Who should skip: Anyone wanting dependable app control from more than a few feet away If you need motion/ambient sensing that “just works” If you want multi‑day battery life without constant babysitting Tips if you already own them: Keep the control device close; line‑of‑sight helps. Turn off fancy automations and stick to simple on/off to preserve battery. Lower brightness and reduce motion duration—every second counts. If the app prompts a firmware update, plug the lights in (if possible) and keep your phone right next to them to avoid failed updates. Pros: Easy physical install Light output is fine when it works Hardware looks neat and compact Cons: Must be very close to manage reliably; commands time out Motion/ambient sensors are inconsistent and often useless Poor battery life with noticeable standby drain App/firmware headaches; generic, slow customer service Bottom line: The hardware looks fine, but the experience isn’t. Between the short control range, flaky sensors, and frequent charging, these don’t deliver on the “smart” promise. I wanted set‑and‑forget security and convenience; I got constant fiddling.

Great lights that are easy to set up and operate. You can group them and create cool lighting effects, set them to operate when is dark and turn them off during the day. They have motion sensing too, but I don't use that feature. They seem like a quality product with quality materials. I do not know yet if that will translate to longevity since I've only had them for a month, so time will tell. I didn't stay up all night to see how long they lasted, but it seemed like they lasted all night (for as long as I could tell). The only downside is that the firmware updates upon first setting them up took a while because you can only update 1 at a time. And I guess not a downside, more of a want, is that I wish I could control them via wifi instead of only Bluetooth since you have to be in proximity for Bluetooth to work. Hopefully, they can release like a bridge/hub that communicates via Bluetooth to the lights and can be controlled via wifi. Pros: -light output. Even at low they are plenty bright -easy to set up and control via the app -battery last Cons: -firmware update takes long -wish it had wifi Dont know yet: -longevity For now, they get a 4 stars but if they last and hopefully they add wifi via a bridge then I will update my rating to 5 stars. Update They do have a WiFi bridge which makes this perfection! New Update One of the lights stopped working because it got flooded. I reached out to their support via email and got a quick response and they gave me a credit for the unit that was damaged. So im happy to see that their support is very responsive and they are able and willing to make it right. Read more
